K-pop boy group NCT 127 are set to make their graphic novel debut with the upcoming release of “NCT 127: Limitless.” 
According to Variety, NCT 127, their label SM Entertainment and Universal Music Group teamed up with Z2 Comics to produce an original graphic novel following the latter’s successful collaborations with other musicians, such as Gorillaz and Weird Al Yankovic.
The graphic novel’s title, “Limitless,” is also the title of the boy band’s second EP, which was released in 2017. As per the Z2 Comics website, the graphic novel will be presented using the manhwa — South Korean comic — format and will feature a “reality-crossing mystery” where the NCT 127 members deal with “otherworldly scenarios” and strange dreams amid their world tour and forthcoming stadium show in New York.
“Limitless” was co-written by Allison Goulet-Scott and features artwork by Kayla Felty and 24×4. Meanwhile, the book’s cover art was created by Felty and colorist Megan Huang.
